Strawberry tiramisu


Welshcakes Limoncello, the author of the wonderful Sicily Scene blog and one of the best cooks in Sicily, gave me an excellent recipe for strawberry tiramisu which was very well received by my guests for lunch on Saturday:

300g strawberries
7 teasp. caster sugar
3 egg yolks
500g mascarpone cheese
1 packet of sponge fingers

Hull the strawberries , halve them and sprinkle with 3 teaspoons of the sugar. Beat the remaining sugar into the egg yolks. Add the mascarpone and most of the strawberries. Mix well. Arrange half the sponge fingers in a deep dish. Slosh some Grand Marnier/sweet sherry/other liqueur over them. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over them. Add another layer of sponge fingers sloshed with more liqueur , then the rest of the mascarpone mixture. Decorate the top with the reserved strawberries, orange slices, flaked chocolate or however you like.

Hi winchester whisperer
Sorry to introduce ourselves in this way but could not find contact details.

I'd like to introduce you to businessandpolitics.org We are trying to shine a light on issues affecting regional business and
politics in the UK through our online forum and live events. We have some very current and interesting people writing for our blog and some
high profile supporters too. Jonathan Gabay, CIM Marketing expert writes regular posts for the blog along with former Financial Times Business Editor John Willman. Iain Dale, the broadcaster, columnist and high profile political blogger is a permanent panel member at our live events. Our project is regional and small in comparison to your readership, but we would be grateful for your help in raising awareness of our not for profit events and forum and ask for your contributions to our online content. We would like to include you as a link to businessandpolitics.org. Additionally, we are staring a blog role and hope together we will all be better informed and connected.

Best Wishes
